    First time at this pub on saturday. There for 5 minutes and barred. Went to see my partners daughter for a quick drink on her birthday, she was with company of around 16 people. One menber of the company was a bit tipsy and wanted sweets from the machine, this annoyed the manager and his girlfriend who werr enjoying their quit uninterrupted life. He and his girlfriend then preceded to bar everyone! I had plans to meet my dad there that evening so why my partner and i were barred aswell as many others on account of one person is ridiculously unfair treatment and ruined my night completely. If pubs are happy to turn away the kind of money any large group are spending seems like very poor management, obviously lacking the necessary skills required. A really sad waste of what i heard to be a really good pub, a shame i didnt get to see it. Update. This was NOT MY party as you say. You classed everyone the same. Your staff insulted us and your recollection is also incorrect. You were rude to me after trying to speak to you when i simply asked for details of who to write to in a complaint to which you had issue with and threatened with the police for asking this from you. You should of taken this up with the person in question not throw out all other customers with a power crazy attitude. I would also like to point out, as the young lady was intoxicated as you say, you happily served her and took her money knowing this. As for myself and my partner we were most definately NOT intoxicated, we hadnt been out long enough for that and had only joined the group briefly to give out a birthday card as i said i had other plans to meet with my father. You offended me by tarring me with the same brush.

    Wonderful pub run by wonderful people. I've performed here a few times now and always receive a warm welcome from Bernie and Ade. Really tasty food and drinks are very reasonably priced. My favourite place to perform. Always happy to return.

    Had a lovely evening at the New Inn yesterday. The food, drinks and atmosphere was great and look forward to visiting again over the festive period.

    I'm a regular visitor to the New Inn and have never had nothing but friendly service with a warm welcome. Today was the first time dining there (I've been wanting to for a while), and I wasn't disappointed. The food came piping hot and was cooked to perfection. I happened to attend on a day where they had a special promotion on curry (they do this every wednesday). So my friend and I ordered the cauliflower and red pepper curry, as well as the fish and chips....... WOW!!! The food was beautiful. I never eat desserts usually but couldn't help but treat myself to a hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream which was also blummin delicious. It happened to be the night of their weekly quiz night, so we stayed to take part. It was so much fun!! What was going to be a 2 hour lunch date with a friend turned into a 6 hour food and quiz night. Enjoyed it so much that I believe its going to be my regular Wednesday night out. Such a wonderful pub with friendly service and a warm welcome. The garden is absolutely MAHOOSIVE for summer drinking too. Also dog friendly. Thanks for a fabulous night!! Look forward to our return.

    Great place. Nice selection of beers. Friendly staff and good people. A great smoking area and on Saturday they have a live band. Really enjoyable. I don't know if they serve food.

    Bar staff incredibly friendly, fantastic venue. An individual was being homophobic and they sorted it immediately. Very very good venue with upstanding and kind staff.

    Excellent service, the staff are always welcoming and Ade & Berni are always happy and extremely pleasant. First class service, the food is excellent and always nice and always prompt. I Can recommend the New Inn pub anytime of the day. I can just advise that you just visit and see for yourself.

    Famished after a long drive , my partner and I were ready for some pub grub that would warm our insides. We stumbled upon the New Inn in Harborne through a Google search, sadly our first impressions were less than appetizing. Being new in town we assumed the pub had parking but we had missed it . We decided to give them a call and ask for some help. Unfortunately, an unhelpful lady answered the phone, told us there was no parking available and didn't offer any alternative solutions and hung up . With our hunger leading the way, we conquered the parking situation and briskly marched on to the pub undeterred by this lady’s attitude. Now, unless this pub has a monopoly on unpleasant female staff members , I assume we were unlucky enough to encounter the same lady who answered the phone when we finally arrived. Her general demeanour was off-putting , she was as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. She stood there, not uttering a word while we ordered food from a menu that had already stopped being served, before informing us that none of our order was available. Thankfully, a friendly male staff member, recognised our need for assistance and stepped in to explain the menu and pointed out which meals were still available. The pub itself was an igloo, but we managed to keep warm by leaving our coats on . It's possible that they turned off the heating to save on energy costs, understandable giving the current crisis we all face. Despite the negative first impressions, the food , when it arrived was the shining star of the New Inn. The bangers and mash and ale pie were delicious . Absolutely the best !!! ⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟5 stars all day long ,also reasonably priced . The pub interior is clean and well presented , the toilets are on the ground floor , modern , also very clean and well maintained We'll be returning to the New Inn , but we'll make sure to dress for sub-zero temperatures and hope to avoid the unpleasant lady. The food is worth the risk of frostbite.

    It was quiz night so I'm pretty sure it would have been a sparse turnout without it however a fair number of people braved the rain to attend the quiz itself was excellent 8rounds split into 2 halves the questions were varied and on the difficult side which of course is half the fun an enjoyable evening

    Had a lovely time with the family here. The meals were gorgeous and staff were very accommodating and friendly. We really felt like we were being looked after. Definitely going to come again soon!

    I went to the new inn on Saturday. The weather was lovely and the pub was really really busy. I ordered two burgers for outside and the food was lovely! Chips were nice and hot washed down with a nice cold ale. Although the garden was packed the wait wasn’t long and the staff were all working really hard. A massive improvement from the last time I sat in the garden last year. I’ll be back!

    New Inn have really friendly staff, a great selection of gin and lots of events to offer over the month. Great place whether it's for a quick drink or you plan to stay out for the whole evening.

  • 5/5 Marcus D. 1 year ago on Google
    We have started using this pub again lately after hearing how much it’s changed and improved under the new ownership. I must say they have turned this pub around from just a year ago. Now we use it everyday. Fantastic staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

    Sadly New Inn has gone downhill. The kitchen closes early and a lot of their draught beers and ales and ciders ran out very quickly which really limited their range sadly. The bar staff were trying the best they could and I appreciated that but it was all rather disheartening

    We brought our elderly neighbour, who is 87 years old, here for lunch today. We received excellent care. She had a great time here.

    Out for a Birthday meal, food was great, and they know how to keep a good pint. Staff were helpful and friendly. Would definitely go again.

    Great night on Saturday. Brilliantly singer Rob had everybody up singing and dancing. Ade and Bernie Great Landlords. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend 👌 we'll be back!

  • 5/5 Claire J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to the New Inn for the first time in years and it’s been transformed, but hasn’t lost its local pub charm. Great family pub with lovely food and friendly staff and it has a fantastic beer garden. Would recommend a visit.

    Had an amazing time at the pub. So much better than when the previous owners had it. Friendly , clean, tasty food and good atmosphere. What more could you want!

  • 5/5 frank r. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here in the week for a nice pint of ale and that is exactly what I got! The wainwright is without a doubt the best I've had in a long long time. Well done to the new management and keep up the great work. I will be back

  • 5/5 Joe A. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here last weekend with some mates for a few drinks and a meal. The weather and atmosphere were great in the beer garden. Ordered the classic chicken burger which I highly recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Patty M. 1 year ago on Google
    The New Inn Harborne, met with friends for a coffee and some food with our babies and I can’t explain how amazing and accommodating the staff were. I don’t get out often but I was made to feel comfortable, welcomed and relaxed throughout my whole visit. Would recommend any one to go here for food/drink you won’t be disappointed😊

  • 5/5 Stuart H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice comfortable pub, friendly staff and good prices. Didn't have food but my friend did and it looked nice. Safe and respectful clientele

  • 5/5 Megan M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have performed at The New Inn, Harborne twice now and I must say both experiences were fantastic. Both managers were very accommodating to my friends and family that came to support me. At the end of my set both managers were very professional and made me feel welcome to come back and perform again. You can always guarantee a good night here whether that’s a chilled weeknight or having a dance with the performer on a Saturday. 5 ⭐️
